Your guide to the presidential candidates' views on foreign policy
Briefly

Harris emphasizes traditional Democratic values with modern nuances, advocating for multilateralism, alliances, and global issues like climate change and women's rights, contrasting Trump’s isolationist 'America First' approach.
While both Harris and Trump agree the Israel-Hamas conflict must end, Harris backs President Biden's cease-fire efforts involving Israel's withdrawal and a future Palestinian state, diverging from Trump's punitive stance.
Trump's foreign policy tends to flatter authoritarian leaders and ignore human rights, focusing instead on economic sanctions and tariffs as tools to confront rivals, significantly differing from Harris's diplomatic strategies.
The ongoing discourse highlights the stark ideological divide between the Democratic approach of alliances and multilateralism advocated by Harris and Trump's unilateral, often confrontational international policies.
